Marvel has announced (Secret Empire)[http://www.cbr.com/marvel-teases-captain-america-centric-secret-empire-for-2017/) as a major event for 2017. The Secret Empire was introduced in the 1970s as a shadowy offshoot of supervillain organization Hydra that turned out to be led by none other than Richard Nixon himself. Given the presence of Cap's shield in the teaser image, it's a safe bet that this storyline will be heavily tied to the current (and controversial) Cap-as-a-Hydra-agent arc, which is unlikely to please critics of that story.

We'll keep you posted on further developments as a geeky 2017 continues.
